First off, sorry for your loss. If you are referring to the 2006 tax year and your wife passed away in 2006, then for the year that she passed away, you will still be filing joint as a surviving spouse. You get this for the first year only.

The taxes you file this year are based on last year, 2006. If she was alive during any part of 2006, then yes, you can claim her.

If she died before 2006, then I don't think you can. If she died IN 2006, then yes, I think so. I'm not sure though.
